Mental health first aid training (MHFA) is a programme that helps to educate people how to identify and assist someone who is suffering from a mental health or drug use condition.

The programme is intended to assist people in recognising early warning signs of mental health conditions, providing initial assistance and support to someone in difficulty, and helping to connect them to external professional support.

Mental Health First Aid Training Delegate Feedback

I have done other mental health courses and really liked the way this one was presented. Chris and Danny both made mental health easily understandable. I feel this course should be made mandatory alongside safeguarding as mental health affects so many of us as sadly I know only too well.

Delegate Feedback

There is not enough support or knowledge for coaches, parents and players regarding mental health and I really do feel strongly that The FA should make your course a key part of requirements.

Delegate Feedback

The session was informative and it was good to hear other attendees points of view from their perspectives. I am so pleased to see Mental Health being talked about in this way.

Fantastic session, very informative and interesting. Well done!

Delegate Feedback

I found it very informative and it both reinforced some things I already knew and revealed many that I didn't. It has also given me some useful tools that I will be able to use in football coaching but also in my personal and work life. I look forward to receiving the pack next week. Great job, thanks again.

Why we need more Mental Health First Aiders in our Club

Things are hard currently, and many, many people within our community, from players to coaches, volunteers to committee members and those connected to our club watching on the touchline will feel the pinch, leading to more pressure on their mental health.
By undertaking mental health first aid training it allows everyone attached to the our Club to know that there are people whom they can approach to discuss any aspect of mental health and just like at pro Clubs, this will allow more people to spot potential signs of mental health conditions.
Furthermore, mental health first aid training can help to promote the importance of mental health and reduce the stigma around seeking help for mental health conditions.
This can encourage people to speak up and seek help if they or anyone they know, are experiencing mental health challenges. This will lead to better overall mental health and well-being within our club, helping to create a more supportive and inclusive culture.
If there is a safeguarding concern within our Club, everyone knows who to contact. Can you say the same if there is a mental health concern? With this training, we can!
